Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-111-000]
Sea Robin Pipeline Company and Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation; Notice of Application
December 12, 1997.
Take notice that on December 3, 1997, Sea Robin Pipeline Company
(Sea Robin), P.O. Box 2563, Birmingham, Alabama 35202-2563, and
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation (Transco), P.O. Box 1396,
Houston, Texas 77251-1397, filed in Docket No. CP98-111-000 an
abbreviated joint application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural
Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon a transportation service
for Transco performed under Sea Robin's Rate Schedule X-28 which was
authorized in Docket No. CP79-433, all as more fully set forth in the
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Sea Robin and Transco state that Sea Robin has provided
transportation service of up to 4,690 Mcf per day on behalf of Transco
pursuant to Sea Robin's Rate Schedule X-28 from Eugene Island Block
261, offshore Louisiana, to delivery points onshore at Erath,
Louisiana. Such service was provided pursuant to a transportation
agreement dated October 2, 1980, which primary term expired December 4,
1990, and the term of the agreement extended from year to year
thereafter. Transco states that the abandonment of this Rate Schedule
is appropriate since Transco has not nominated gas or received service
under the agreement since March, 1992. The abandonment of the Rate
Schedule will not require any abandonment of facilities. Sea Robin and
Transco state that they are agreeable to the termination effective as
of the date the Commission approves abandonment of Rate Schedule X-28.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before January 2, 1998, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426,
a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any
hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave
to
[[Page 66349]]
intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such
hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Sea Robin and Transco to appear or be
represented at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
